Part A:
Mimi
How long 'til next year?
Roger
Three and half minutes...
Mimi
I'm giving up my vices
I'm going back- back to school
Eviction or not
This week's been so hot
That long as I've got you
I know I'll be cool
I couldn't crack the love code, dear
'Til you made the lock on my heart explode
It's gonna be a happy new year
A happy new year
Mark
Coast is clear
You're supposed to be working
That's for midnight
Where are they?
There isn't much time
Mimi
Maybe they're dressing
I mean what does one wear that's apropos
For a party- that's also a crime
Maureen
Chips, anyone?
Mark
You can take the girl out of Hicksville
But you can't take the Hicksville out of the girl
Maureen
My riot got you on TV
I deserve a royalty
Mimi
Be nice you two
Or no god awful champagne
Maureen
Don't mind if I do
No luck?
Roger
Bolted plywood, padlocked with a chain
A total dead end
Maureen
Just like my ex-girlfriend
Honey...?
I know you're there...
Please pick up the phone
Are you okay?
It's not funny
It's not fair
How can I atone?
Are you okay?
I lose control
But I can learn to behave
Give me one more chance
Let me be your slave
I'll kiss your Doc Martens
Let me kiss your Doc Martens
Your every wish I will obey
Joanne
That might be okay
Down girl
Heel...stay
I did a bit of research
With my friends at legal aid
Technically, you're squatters
There's hope
But just in case
Mark & Joanne
Rope!
Mark
We can hoist a line-
Joanne
To the fire escape-
Mark
And tie off at...
Mark & Joanne
That bench!
Maureen
I can't take them as chums
Joanne
Start hoisting...wench
Roger
I think I should be laughing
Yet I forget
Forget how to begin
I'm feeling something inside
And yet I still can't decide
If I should hide
Or make a wide open grin
Last week I wanted just to disappear
My life was dust
But now it just may be a happy new year
A happy new year
Collins
Bond. James Bond.
Angel
And Pussy Galore- in person
Mimi
Pussy you came prepared
Angel
I was a boy scout once
And a brownie
'Til some brat got scared
Collins
Aha! Moneypenny- my martini!
Mimi
Will bad champagne do?
Roger
That's shaken- not stirred
Collins
Pussy- the bolts
Angel
Just say the word!
Mimi
Two minutes left to execute our plan
Collins
Where's everyone else?
Roger
Playing Spiderman
Mark
Ironic close up: tight
On the phone machine's red light
Once the Boho boys are gone
The power mysteriously comes on
Part B:
Maureen
I think we need an agent!
Mark
We?
Joanne
That's selling out
Mark
But it's nice to dream
Maureen
Yeah- it's network TV
And it's all thanks to me
Mark
Somehow I think I smell
The whiff of a scheme
Joanne
Me too
Maureen
We can plan another protest
Joanne
We?!
Maureen
This time you can shoot from the start
You'll direct
Starring me!
All
5, 4, 3... Open sesame!!
Happy new year
Happy new year
Happy new...
Benny
I see that you've beaten me to the punch
Roger
How did you know we'd be here?
Benny
I had a hunch
Mark
You're not mad?
Benny
I'm here to end this war
It's a shame you went and destroyed the door
Mimi
Why all the sudden the big about face
Benny
The credit is yours
You made a good case
Roger
What case?
Benny
Mimi came to see me
And she had much to say
Mimi
That's not how you put it at all yesterday
Benny
I couldn't stop thinking about the whole mess
Mark- you want to get this on film
Mark
I guess
Benny
I regret the unlucky circumstances
Of the past seven days
Roger
Circumstance? You padlocked our door
Benny
And it's with great pleasure
On behalf of CyberArts
That I hand you this key
Angel
Golf claps
Mark
I have no juice in my battery
Benny
Reshoot
Roger
I see this is a photo opportunity
Maureen
The benevolent God
Ushers the poor artists back to their flat
Were you planning on taking down the barbed wire
From the lot, too?
Roger
Anything but that!
Benny
Clearing the lot was a safety concern
We break ground this month
But you can return
Maureen
That's why you're here with people you hate
Instead of with Muffy at Muffy's estate
Benny
I'd honestly rather be with you tonight than in Westport
Roger
Spare us old sport, the soundbite
Benny
Mimi- since your ways are so seductive
Mimi
You came on to me!
Benny
Persuade him not to be so counterproductive
Roger
Liar!
Benny
Why not tell them what you wore to my place?
Mimi
I was on my way to work
Benny
Black leather and lace!
My desk was a mess
I think I'm still sore
Mimi
Cause I kicked him and told him I wasn't his whore!
Benny
Does your boyfriend know
Who your last boyfriend was?
Roger
I'm not her boyfriend
I don't care what she does
Angel
People! Is this any way to start a new year?
Have compassion
Benny just lost his cat
Benny
My dog- but I appreciate that
Angel
My cat had a fall
And I went through hell
Benny
It's like losing a-
How did you know that she fell?
Collins
Champagne?
Benny
Don't mind if I do
To dogs!
All but Benny
No, Benny- to you!
Angel
Let's make a resolution
Mimi
I'll drink to that
Collins
Let's always stay friends
Joanne
Though we may have our disputes
Maureen
This family tree's got deep roots
Mark
Friendship is thicker than blood
Roger
That depends
Mimi
Depends on trust
Roger
Depends on true devotion
Joanne
Depends on love
Mark
Depends on not denying emotion
Roger
Perhaps
All
It's gonna be a happy new year
Roger
I guess
All
It's gonna be a happy new year
Roger
You're right
Angel
It's gonna be a happy new year
Roger & Mimi
I'm sorry
Roger
Coming?
Mimi
In a minute- I'm fine- go
The Man
Well, well, well. What have we here?
It's gonna be a happy new year
There, there
